Similar experience in Hamburg last week:
"We are now boarding Group 1+2 and oneworld *non-understandable mumbling*-Flyers for your flight to London."
A split second everyone hesitated as the announcement was really hard to understand, but of course, shortly the rush started
Sidenote, PriorityCheckin counters seems to be a thing of the past in HAM, there was only one large queue for 3 general counters and they only allowed check in for the current flight (people for later flight were shoo-ed away)...
